Safe traveling in
Portland on New Years Eve

Travel safely,
Portland! Don't drive and if a car must be involved,
designate a 100% non-drinking driver. Please note that biking while
intoxicated is illegal, too. We know how you are, Portland!
Not only is biking drunk illegal, it's dangerous and...dumb.
So, with that, here are your mass transit options for travel on New
Years Eve in Portland.

TriMet
service is free after 8pm on New Years Eve.
Buses will run on weekday schedules, and MAX will be running extra
late. Check schedules online at

TriMet Schedule New

First off, I should probably mention that if you plan to imbibe, please
don't drink and drive. Tri Met will help with that goal:
ride free on NYE from 8pm until end of service.
